Yes, the day I had been dreading has arrived.
When I knew I would be starting chemo, my next question was, "when will I lose my hair?" Due to the type of Chemo I'm on (Taxol/Carbol) I was told it would be between 2-3 weeks after the first treatment.
Last Sunday night when I got out of the shower I discovered the process was starting when my body hair decided to go brazilian.
Slowly my hair has been shedding.
Before I was diagnosed I thought you lost hair like this:
As in "poof! all gone"
But it actuality is more like this:
And while I admit I cried a little when I realized it was falling out.
After the first 2 days it just got annoying.
Hair loss tip: When your hair is falling out, greasing up with baby oil and then blowing your hair dry...may not be a good idea. I was oiled...and feathered.
So I shaved it all off this am.
It was almost anti-climatic.
And it feels....so good :)
and a final word or 3...
Fuck you cancer.
